Adventures in home rolling

[webmost]

So here I am, sitting at work, wondering when people will post verdicts on the cigars they smoke as they post the pictures. Nothing quite like seeing a beautiful stick, but now knowing how it was... I NEED DETAILS!!!!!!

Better than Valvoline!

I’m not good at picking out kitchen spices in a cigar most of the time.
It had quite a zing on the front of my taster. Pretty good notes of cinnamon and some nutmeg I’d say. It had a nice white pepper zing. It was pretty good. Incidentally the ligero was CV criollo.

Nice aroma too. I’m going to make a lot more but with half the Viso.

Yes. It’s a nice leaf.

Trying the new CVA Habano seco with some Ploto Cubano Ligero with Ecuador Seco Binder, Going to try 4 different wrappers with it, not sure which yet

I’m a fan of the Leaf Only Cameroon wrapper

Not a fan of the Ecuadorian Madura on this blend.

Cameroon has chocolate notes, cinnamon, and some other deliciousness spice. I hope these age well. Going to make a dozen in the next couple of days

I’ll see how the rest of it develops tonight

Im going to put 1 of each MSA, Habano 2000, FX Smith Conn Shade and Brazilian Mata Fina because thats all i have in wrappers lol

I really liking this LO Cameroon wrapper with Brazilian Viso

 

[Dominican56]

A bunch more for the stash box
I’m kinda liking rolling free-form it conforming to the shape of a mold. Each one is different.

All CV fillers
2 different CV ligero
Sumatra binder
Cameroon wrapper

 

[Marc L]

Is that one free hand too? if not, I'd say you could. if so, nice going there buddy.

Yes. All of them freehand
I can make them nice and straight, I don’t choose too do it most of the time

However, when I make a nice straight even one it looks nice and I consider making all of them like that

The tapered ones ( albeit ugly ) have a distribution of leaf such that I get the flavor profile I like.

I made two of them that are pretty nice. One with Mexican San and the other with Cameroon wrappers. Both the same mezcla.
